Why I Love You

Everyone is their own Caesar, but some are blind to the mind of Brutus

In the end, its confused lips, can't think of what to say to it All I want to do is live life & don't fall on the pyramid But once your eyes ascend, you get buried with their prize possessions. You did it for them, yet you're buried with nothing Can't take it with you, King Tutankhamen When death does me part is when I get appreciation Impatient, take me for granted now Forget me when I'm not living

Never forgive me, hold on to the grudge Ride it out every time push comes to shove Exploit it like a preacher who isn't headed above And let it kill from the inside, non-prescription drugs. You fear what you don't know & I was too confident To give you a compliment, should have known better: Trust doesn't exist completely The heart always has place for darkness to sleep I should have grabbed a flashlight before tossing a pillow I die in a bed of flowers, no weeping willows The wrong brides & grooms showed up to my life's wedding And to top it off, I threw all the prenups out the window Everyday is 5/14, live like there's no tomorrow I predicted the Ides of March, why the F*** do I love you?
